Rupert Murdoch Takes Over at National Geographic, Immediately Starts Laying off Award-Winning Staff @alternet
"The management of National Geographic sent out an email telling its staff, all of its staff, all to report to their headquarters, and wait by their phones. This pulled back every person who was in the field, every photographer, every reporter, even those on vacation had to show up on this fateful day. As these phones rang, one by one National Geographic let go the award-winning staff, and the venerable institution was no more. The name now belongs to Rupert Murdoch, and he has plans for it."
